wouldn't you know it

on the off chance the dealer might know something i gave him a call this am.

[now the old boy i like to talk to was around when the 72's were new and he remembers several things. he mentioned the switch gear when i was having problems with my ignition. he also ferretted out some special clips i was looking for]

i didn't get the guy i wanted but i explained what i was trying to accomplish. he said ok hang on a minute. well about 3 minutes later he comes back and asks what color and i say black with grey/silver lettering. has me hang on and a minute later says yep they are available. i was flabbergasted. i said naw you're kidding it can't be that simple. he said yes that they kept an old book and the part number still comes up as available.

well i threw my CC number at him and he said they'd ship it directly to me. well i'll be a true believer when they get here on Friday. and this is from the same company that wanted to charge me 124.00 yes 124.00 pesos for the correct distributor rotor for this car. they are about 50 miles away which is the closet MBZ dealer to me.

will wonders never cease. i'll let you all know if they were the ones i want.

tks to all!!!
